In some cases, faculty members ask the bookstore to create course packets for their students. If these course packets contain copyrighted material, the information about the author must be reported to the Centre Français d’Exploitation du Droit de Copie (CFC), which will collect the proper royalties and forward them to the author. Faculty must also report the scanning of copyrighted material. AUP reports annually to the CFC the number of materials copied or scanned.

The AUP Writing Lab engages and trains students as Writing Lab Tutors who provide individually tailored sessions to help their peers succeed.
